2025 Lexus IS 500 F SPORT review by Ben Lewis
We love when a major manufacturer bucks a trend – it shows there’s more to things than just selling whatever is the current hotness. Take for example the Lexus IS 500. Where most manufacturers are running away from naturally aspirated V8s and going for turbo V6 or even turbo 4-cylinders, Lexus says no, we like the personality you can only get from the V8. So, does that make Lexus a great hold […]
Road Test Review – 2025 Volkswagen Taos SEL – Updated and Eager To Please
Volkswagen’s Taos CUV had a tall order on its plate when it was asked to replace the iconic Golf in the U.S. a few years ago. The Taos was meant to appeal to urban dwellers and give VW an entry that would be a true gateway model while also allowing the Tiguan to move upmarket as well. The Taos has proven to be somewhat successful in that regard but the CUV also suffered from styling that […]
2025 Toyota Crown Signia Limited review by Ben Lewis
If we said you can get a Lexus at Toyota prices, would you be interested? OK, there’s some status value with that shapely L on the hood, and those dealerships sure are pretty. But how much are you paying for that? With the all-new 2025 Toyota Crown Signia you get a real luxury experience at a surprisingly great MSRP. Interested? Let’s take a look. Handsome Wagon First impressions are very […]
Review: The 2025 Acura ZDX Type S. More power. More tech. And more of the same.
It seems like only yesterday I reviewed the Acura ZDX A-Spec. Short version: it’s a GM EV in Acura clothing, and since it doesn’t have to align with GM’s larger software-defined vehicle strategy, it provides a superior user experience. Namely: the Acura gets an on/off button and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility. Now I’m in the sportiest version of this EV: the Acura ZDX Type S. It’s […]
2025 Audi Q4 55 e-tron quattro review by Ben Lewis
It’s fun to look back on what we thought about EVs when they first got popular. One of the biggest concerns was they’d all be the same. You know, kinda boring, appliances. It didn’t seem like electric motors had much in the way of personality. Well, that proved to be untrue, in fact one of the things we really love is how different they are. Compare a Hyundai Ionic 5 N, to a BMW i4. Both great […]
Road Test Review – 2025 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited – Comfort & Efficency
The Hyundai Sonata is bringing a fresh perspective and a new attitude to the family sedan segment. It’s no secret that the segment as a whole has been withering on the vine with a growing pool of nameplates all being sacrificed to make room for CUV and SUV entries. The 2024 Sonata is one of the few entries left that’s continuing to bring the fight to rivals with a major redesign […]
Review: The Chevrolet Equinox RS AWD Is A Solid, Traditional Crossover
With all the press surrounding Chevrolet’s newest, budget-friendly(-ish) Equinox EV, it’s easy to forget about the other Equinox. No, not the Vernal or Autumnal ones—the one that comes with a gas-fueled powertrain. The one you see here: the Chevrolet Equinox RS AWD. Outside of the name, there are few similarities between this internal combustion Chevy Equinox RS AWD and the Equinox EV. And I have […]
2024 Subaru BRZ tS review by Ben Lewis
You can’t argue with the popularity of SUVs and crossovers. But we’d be happy to argue that there are still some great cars for enthusiasts, out there too. Sure, maybe less than before, but what’s around are pretty good – even for those on a budget. We recently tested the 2024 Mazda Miata, and it still has all the lightweight convertible goodness you could want. And then there’s the GR86/BRZ […]
Road Test Review – 2025 Toyota Crown Signia Limited – Green Luxury
When Toyota first introduced the Crown moniker to the U.S. it wanted to try and give buyers a unique offering that could stand out from the rest of the hybrid competition while also introducing buyers to a level of luxury that was once reserved for the Japanese market in recent years with these buyers getting the chance to experience a level of Toyota luxury that U.S. buyers would have had to […]
2025 Honda Civic Sport Touring Hybrid sedan review by Ben Lewis
We recently tested the BMW i4 and loved it – here was an EV that was a BMW first and foremost. And we couldn’t stop thinking about that with our time in the 2025 Civic Hybrid. Lately, the Civic has been a sparkling, delightful and well-priced small sedan and hatch. We especially liked the sporty Si model. So when we heard that the new Hybrid model will be the most powerful non-Type R ever – we […]
Road Test Review – 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric Limited
Hyundai is out to prove that EVs can be a viable part of its sales plans. The Ioniq 5, 6, and the upcoming Ioniq 9 are providing a glimpse into how the company intends to integrate these models into its broader vehicle lineup with technology and range leading the way. However, other models will also command their fair share of attention. One of these models is the 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric which […]
Review: The Chevrolet Equinox EV 2LT Is A Cost-Friendly Ride With Mass Appeal
Spend too much time on car websites—like I do—and you’ll close your browser believing the following two statements to be true: the world needs more brown, diesel-powered station wagons with manual transmissions; and that the world really needs a sub-$35,000 EV. While that first idea may never find traction beyond a certain subset of enthusiasts, the second one is driving the future of […]
